HAWTHORN coach Alastair Clarkson has responded to comments by Hawks' president Jeff Kennett by saying he will not put a time frame on when the club will win its next flag.
Kennett said on the Hawthorn website on Monday, "we are about making history for the club this year, not just next or the year after."
Clarkson said the club is in a good position at the moment but admitted it is very difficult to win a flag.
"We want to progress as quickly as we possibly can," he said.
"We've put ourselves in a position that we can go deep into finals, and who knows, as we've seen in years gone by with Essendon winning in '93 and Adelaide in the latter half of that decade, if you get momentum in finals anything can happen.
"We set very high standards at the club and the demands are great, but that's the robust environment of this competition.
"We want to go as high as we possibly can and hopefully that's a flag, but we also are realistic to know that it's a really tough gig winning AFL premierships."
